Course Outline:
This course has been designed to ensure that nurses have a defendable, rather than a defensive practice by giving them the skills to create, manage and store records to best practice.
Records, including notes, are an essential tool which care professionals must be able to use effectively to meet their various legal and professional responsibilities.
This interactive course will give you an understanding of how, when and why to write timely and accurate care records, as well as how they can be used to defend your recollection under cross-examination in a courtroom environment.
Throughout the day, with the assistance of a thought-provoking video case study, we will consider who might read what you have written, what should be recorded in care records, what should not be recorded in them and the importance of focusing on not just what was said, but also on what the service user is not saying, as well as their overall presentation.
Towards the end of the day, we will turn to consider what “good” looks like from your perspective and within your role. You will be assisted to formulate a note keeping template which will help you capture all of the relevant information imparted by your service users.
